We proudly partner with Greenpeace, Empowered by Light, and Solargrid to install solar power for our Munduruku allies in the Brazilian Amazon. The Munduruku are vital protectors of the Tapajós River, one of Brazil's last free-flowing Amazon tributaries, which is threatened by large dam projects.

These solar installations provide clean energy and powerfully demonstrate that massive dams are not the answer to our energy demands. Support the Munduruku and their fight for land rights by taking action: http://amazonwatch.org/landrightsnow.

Data centers are significant energy consumers. By designing them for flexibility, their power demand can align with the availability of clean energy on the grid. Non-urgent computing tasks can be paused or accelerated, allowing data centers to slow down when renewables are scarce and speed up when abundant, transforming them into valuable grid assets.

Professor Ayse Coskun, Chief Scientist at Emerald AI and a Boston University professor, is a leader in this emerging field of flexible, grid-aware computing. Her research applies AI and machine learning to optimize cloud systems, making this innovative approach a real-world solution.

Dr. Morgan Levine, author of "True Age," outlines three dietary factors for longevity: quantity, quality, and timing. Caloric restriction (a 20% reduction) has shown lifespan benefits in animals, possibly by preventing overeating. A plant-based diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole foods while limiting animal products and refined sugars, is also beneficial. Fasting, or time-restricted eating, may mimic caloric restriction benefits via 'hormesis,' boosting resilience to aging.

Optimal diet is individual, influenced by genetics and age, and should be monitored via biological age and well-being. Dr. Levine, a former Yale professor now at Altos Labs, researches aging systems. For more, watch "The science of super longevity" or read the transcript on Big Think.

Natalia Teryda, a PhD student at the University of Florida, has dedicated herself to marine conservation since age fourteen. She earned a Master's in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego as a Fulbright Grantee, following her BS in Biology from Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata.

Originally from Mar del Plata, Argentina, Natalia was selected by the US Embassy in Argentina to be an Argentinean Youth Ambassador for the "Our Oceans, Young Ambassadors" program, organized by the US Department of State.

The Northern White Rhinoceros is functionally extinct due to poaching, with only two individuals remaining. A video featuring Dr. Barbara Durrant explores whether the San Diego Zoo Safari Park's "frozen zoo" can reverse this. This unique biotech facility aims to use in vitro fertilization to implant a Northern White Rhino embryo into a closely related Southern White Rhino. If successful, this groundbreaking procedure could rescue critically endangered species and potentially resurrect extinct ones.

Advancements in ocean technology will soon enable vast observation of the ocean's 'twilight zone.' Melissa Omand, an Assistant Professor at the University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography, plans to deploy hundreds of tiny glass robots as deep-ocean sentinels. These robots will track the vertical transport and sequestration of carbon from the surface to the deep sea, focusing on the 'biological pump' and the fate of carbon from biological sources like phytoplankton.

This presentation, highlighting Dr. Omand's work, was delivered at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
